Default RE: Transporting your plane???

ORIGINAL: Dave trimmer

well at age 17 and my g2 test (g1- can only drive with a g driver next to me, g2- allowed to drive by myself G- full driver) next month I have a 1973 vw station wagon I am working on and it atill needs a lot of work but after I cut the head liner off with a batt operated chemical mask because of all the mouse poo. my dad is selling this car and was brought out of storage after 18 yrs, and in another month or so it should be ready to go! the colour is green with yellow wheells. the one pic with my dad under it is at our storage spot.
Kewl!! I had a '71 VW squareback which replaced the hotrodded (1900cc dual port / Webber carb / Isky cam, ect.) '69 VW beetle I had as a kid. The SB held all my sailing gear way better than the beetle (but I had the baddest, coolest bug in town).

For my "toy" airplanes I have a '91 Mazda PU with an aluminum shell on the back and a plastic bed liner. Everything slides around on the bedliner so I bought a cheap foam-backed 3x6 kid's play rug and toss it in there. I have some SonicTronic wheelchocks which keeps the trike gear trainer from moving around. To keep my flight box from slamming into the airplane I retain the box with elastic bungee cords.

I have some CL friends with some nice racks they built out of PVC pipe which allows them to stack 4 and 5 airplanes. I'll post a picture later tonight.
